gates59 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I would like to know how to just update the map on my f500bt. I have updated to firmware 2.006000 and curently have map version 01.000600. It is for north america. I'm in canada. How to do it and where to find files would be nice. Thanks in advanced.

gates59 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Oh ya one last thing. How would I do a backup of my current system. I'm guessing using the test mode that I have not yet installed. Also will the new map update have more poi's. I wanted this gps to find provincial camp ground in canada but it does not have any. Only regular camp cites. Will it update this as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gates59 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Not even one reply. WOW. Ok so I found a file called canada.fbl and one called canada.poi. If I was to just copy the new files over these ones, will it work. I at least want canada's maps and poi's updated. Can it be as simple as copy over the old one's. Thanks.

ndy4eva Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=25838&start=105#p198632 iGO 8.3 map does not work with iGO 8. The firmware 2 runs iGO8 which means, you cannot just upgrade the map data. You need to upgrade iGO application altogether (replacing APL2 folder). Btw, I'm in Canada as well.
